Global provider of bearings, seals and related products and services, SKF, today said that it would now offer expertise in lubrication systems under the brand name of SKF Lubrication Systems.
Beginning July 1, Willy Vogel AG will operate under the name of SKF Lubrication Systems, a press release issued here said.
All lubrication systems, engineered solutions and services will now be offered under the SKF brand only, instead of the presently dual branded SKF Vogel.
The SKF group acquired Willy Vogel AG, a leading company in lubrication technology space, in 2004.
For customers, this will result in direct access to SKF's complete range of products, solutions and services, the release said.
It will also provide a highly-efficient service-level, from initial consultation to final delivery, the release added.
SKF India's Managing Director Rakesh Makhija said: "The acquisition of Willy Vogel AG was strategically important to SKF's objective of having a leading role in all its technology platforms."
"Customers can now rely on standard lubrication systems, customised units and complete solutions integrating bearings, lubrication and sealing," he added.
